Motto

[edit]

The ship's motto does not mean to catch a sleeping weasel.

Indeed. Which is why I've corrected it. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:52, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And I've corrected your correction: Si dormiam capiar; "If I sleep, I may be caught". Shem (talk) 15:30, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I wasn't sure if that was correct or not per Google Translate, so I took a stab at a slightly more colloquial translation. - The Bushranger One ping only 18:58, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. But I still don't know where the weasel came from. It's listed at the normally-reliable naval-history.net, but it could be copied from the WP article. Shem (talk) 21:31, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
